3-18-20 Update on E.T.C. due to current Health Concerns:

Hi Everyone, The calendar indicates spring is officially here and I know most of you must be ready to ride. Unfortunately though, the virus pandemic is dominating the news as every day it is escalating. As all can see- most any sporting events, group gatherings and public
places are closing up in an effort to slow down and eventually control/stop the virus from doing more damage. With that said, I have to address our practice riding here and the events scheduled for ETC., and will keep you informed as we follow what goes on
and make possible changes.

I want to keep the schedule in tact however any (or all) of the events may be canceled (if needs be) to comply
with what State and Federal health/government officials are recommending to get through this as quick as possible. I also want to protect and respect my riding friends- especially those who may have kids or older family members. In general I like to be
optimistic. I would like to believe our country may be on the downhill side of this in a month, but looking at other countries spells out a different story and time-line to me.

The Tryals Shop is going to continue as always to be open and to support our customers/riders. We will continue to do our best supplying parts/service, lessons, and a place to ride.
As far as practice riding, we will no longer have scheduled practice days/nites but will instead encourage folks to come any day or time in random (in lieu of grouping on one specific day or time). We have the night-lighting and are nearly ALWAYS here----
so we welcome you to fit it into your schedule at your convenience. In the event we do have to cancel some or all of the E.T.C. Events.. we do have a back up plan to continue to ride. Each month- May to end of Fall I will mark sections. My goal would be
to offer new sections each month and riders would be welcome to come and ride the course at any time. Keep score if you like, and at the end of the month I will post everyone's best event score. I will be using the same format I used last year with an easy
group of sections and a harder group of sections. Each group of sections will have one gate split--to 'up' the challenge for those riders looking for that. The gate split is an optional line. You can ride it in any section or skip it in any section. Its there
so you can fine tune your skills and optimize your fun. Scoring is the conventional 0,1,2,3,5 with a + for the section (or sections) that you choose to ride the option gate.

I see Google has added a new message on their home page. "DO THE FIVE"---- Not what Trials Riders want to hear (!)-- but not a bad idea to keep their version in mind.

1. HANDS Wash them often

2. ELBOW Cough into it

3. FACE Don't touch it

4. FEET Stay more than 3 feet apart

5. FEEL sick? Stay home

Hope to see you all soon, Mike, Laurel, Aaron, Moonie

These events will typically be on Saturdays and some will start later in the day with a loop in the daylight and the rest under the lights.(Non-members are also welcomed to ride these events for a $10 sign-up fee)

The Property:Our 10 (and growing) groomed areas (with Night Lighting) have a variety of terrain options: Hills, Off-Camber Turns, Logs of Various Sizes, Rock Climbs, Steps, and Ledges. There are challenges for every skill-level rider, and we are always building new Section Areas.Our sections are purposely built for honing specific techniques-- & riding advice is always available from our Experts- Aaron & Mike.

Wrenching:

The Shop is open to members to work on their bike repairs or their routine bike maintenance (please bring your own hand tools).Free tech advice is always available while you’re working (or we can do the shop work if you prefer).

Socializing and Fun:

Because of our unique set-up here, we are completely family-friendly and spectator-friendly.All sections can be easily watched.The loop is short for those on foot, and sitting by the pond in our beautiful setting or swinging on the swing are widely encouraged. We have Food and Drinks in the Shop, Wi-Fi, Shop Bathroom, A four-legged friend that loves hands-on, and lots and lots of chairs if you want to chat and chill.
